Perhaps we shall let the new Principal decides some action plan when she is here.

Maybe we should come together and submit a petition to the new principal? :scratchhead:

Just thinking out loud.

:oops: what is MT?


My DD only go for High Chinese when she is P3. I did not hear that they got divide in Chinese in P2.

Hi ctc61t

So after P2 the school would normally stream with 2 or 3 top classes? Meaning M, A2 & S. These classes would have the chance to expose to Higher Chinese? How to qualify for HMT? Looking at MT result at the end of P2 or overall result?

I got the information from my DD, so below information is just as reference.

She said that, they still have 3 good class in P3 (3M, 3A2 and 3A1), these 3 classes will go for MT next year.

Since the school will not have exam for P2s next year, it may be difficult to stream the students.

Although there won't be exam for P2s, Mdm Lee mentioned there would be a lot of \"exercises\" (aka tests).

Next year, P3, I think I should ask for her teacher, my thinking is always wrong...hehe...

During orientation the Principal mentioned that the \"No Exam\" rule was island wide. So I wonder if the new Principal can do anything about it.
But she did mention that the students will have \"Excercises\" which maybe be just as good to prepare the students for P3 exam.

But they did get the new P1 students to do some kind of test/quiz/assessment/excercise (whatever they call it now) during the orientation on saturday. I wonder how they would use the result because the students are already split into classes. Any idea? Did they do it last year?

No, last year the parents were busy filling out forms , no tests during orientation.

You mean they were assessed during the orientation for this year :!:

This is really weird. If they had intended not to have exams for the P2's in 2011, then they shouldnt have subjected them to P1 exams this year. It's like they take exams for 1 year and none the next. Cannot understand the rationale behind this :?

I am surprised at this! Since the kids already got used to the idea of exams, I think the minimum they should is, at least to continue with SA2 as opposed to wholesale take out the exam system.

But the recommendation is no exam for P1s only, no? :scratchhead:

Yes I strongly agreed that they should at least remain the SA2 since our kid had experienced it in P1.
Imagine no exam then the kid would just been thinking all day to play & play.
